This Sunset Park E-bike Startup Is Changing The Way Brooklynites Ride
The sun is shining and the warm air is in your face. Taking a leisurely stroll through a Brooklyn nabe? Nope, you’re zipping through city streets on a bike.
If you’re considering leveling up your bike (or don’t own one at all), then it’s time to look at LANE Bikes. The Sunset Park e-bike startup is on a mission to make electric bikes easy to use, and more importantly, accessible. Crafted with sustainability in mind, these bikes are made to disrupt reliance on fossil fuels and cars, improve urban environments and overall well-being.
E-bikes are quickly becoming mainstays for commuting, joy rides and even fitness. How so? With LANE Bikes, they’re utterly light, simple and versatile. Let us explain: The uncomplicated commuter bikes are designed to get across town, up steep hills or simply over a bridge without breaking a sweat (unless, you want to).
This particular e-bike can also transform back to its analog counterpart, if that’s your thing. For starters, the e-bike is built with a small and sleek detachable battery with its own USB port that fully charges in just three and a half hours. The battery weighs a mere three pounds, so it’s super easy to carry a spare while out and about, and not worry about making a pit stop to recharge. Or, simply detach—or turn off—the battery and ride away.
Outfitted with hydraulic disk brakes and puncture-resistant tires—this model needs less maintenance than traditional mechanical brakes—which produces a far superior stopping power. (P.S. The e-bike comes with fenders as well!) The e-bike itself is much lighter and in comparison to bike share companies like CitiBike, the body isn’t heavy or cumbersome. Seriously, the e-bike makes cycling around town a breeze and it comes with seven speeds to experience.
And, the verdict’s in. LANE Bikes are an utterly smooth and fun ride. We tested the LANE Express which currently retails for $1,450.00. The e-bike is supremely rideable, elegant and even better, its black matte frame made us feel cool. The bike is perfect for the commuter who may want to ride traditionally but craves an automatic feature for fun and time-saving support. The South Brooklyn based company is changing the way we ride, and the hybrid functionality of this e-bike is something that elevates the ride experience for the better. We’re ready to cruise through Brooklyn as long as this e-bike is by our side.
Excited? We have some good news for you. Unlike other competitors on the market with long production times, LANE Bikes have bikes in stock and ready to ship. What’s even sweeter is Brooklyn Magazine readers can score a LANE e-bike with 10 percent off with code BKLNMAG10. Purchase here.
